Sand-filled geotextile bags were initially approved by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) as a temporary solution to protect the seaward edge of the park. The CCC requires removal of all sand cubes/sandbags and has approved replacement using rock, which will also remain as a temporary measure while more permanent initiatives continue to be further developed.
